Via Salaria, Roma AIC A 14/17 21 DEC 17 AIP Italia (Servizio Informazioni Aeronautiche) Direttore responsabile: Nicoletta Tomiselli Reg. del tribunale di Roma n. 244 del 3 maggio Stampa: Gemmagraf 2007 Srl Via Tor de Schiavi, Roma A14: FRAIT Free Route Italy - implementation of new lower vertical limit at FL INTRODUCTION This AIC contains information about the implementation of FREE Route operations inside Italian airspace within the new vertical limit at FL305. The procedures described in this AIC will enable full Free Route operations in an environment composed of the overall Italian airspace at FL305 and above. 2 BACKGROUND Free Route Airspace (FRAIT) is a specified airspace within which users may freely plan a route between a defined entry point and a defined exit point, with the possibility to route via intermediate way points, without reference to the ATS route network, subject to airspace availability. This implementation grants: efficiency, predictability, environmental sustainability. ENAV has implemented FRA according to FRA with intermediate points NM system model.

2 3 PROCEDURES 3.1 Area of application FRAIT is a single area, available H24 above FL305 within the external lateral limits of the Italian ACCs (Milano, Roma, Padova and Brindisi) Areas of Responsibility. 3.2 Operating hours H24 from 24 th May Eligible flights All flights that intend to plan a portion of flight above FL305 are eligible for FRAIT.

3 4 FREE ROUTE OPERATIONS WITHIN ITALY 4.1 Area of Application FRAIT is a single area, available H24 above FL305 within the external lateral limits of the Italian ACCs (Milano, Roma, Padova and Brindisi) Areas of Responsibility. The ATS Route Network will be REMOVED above FL305, except for the Area where ATS are provided by neighbouring ANSPs. Below the FRAIT, AOs will continue to fly in accordance with the published ATS routes network. 4.2 Airspace classification Free Route Italy (FRAIT) will maintain the current classification of the airspace above FL305 that is classified as Class C airspace. 4.3 Flight Level Orientation The cruising levels ODD / EVEN within FRAIT Italy airspace must be selected depending on the applicable Flight Level Orientation System (FLOS) at the FRAIT Entry and FRAIT Exit. As described in ENR1.7 - Altimeter Setting ODD is the direction of IFR cruising levels with a magnetic track between 090 and 269 while EVEN is the direction of IFR cruising levels with a magnetic track between 270 and 089. Cruising levels must also be planned in accordance with the adjacent ATS route network Flight Level Orientation Scheme. 4.4 Flight Procedures Within FRAIT aircraft may freely fly a direct route between a defined Entry point and a defined Exit point, with the possibility to route via defined Intermediate points without reference to the ATS route network and subject to airspace availability Intermediate Points are published in AIP-Italia ENR (Radio Navigation Aids - Enroute) and ENR 4.4 (Name Codes Designator for Significant Points) There is no restrictions on the maximum DCT distance that can be flight planned between points in FRAIT DCT segments shall be entirely within the limits of the FRAIT airspace Planning of DCT segments across FRAIT borders (cross border DCT) is not allowed; entry and exit from FRAIT borders shall be planned using the published COP between the two concerned neighbouring ACCs Planning of DCT segments that are partially outside the lateral limits of FRAIT is not allowed (multiple re-entry segments) the DCT segment is not allowed at a distance of 5NM or less from the boundary between two neighbouring ANSP (AUA) Flights may be planned through AMC manageable Areas; in case of portion/s of airspace not available, the aircraft shall fly intermediate Points to circumnavigate the area/s The use of LAT/LONG shall be avoided Mandatory Connecting Point will be defined (as RAD restrictions) for traffic to the following six airports: Milano/Linate (LIML) Milano/Malpensa (LIMC) Bergamo/Orio al Serio (LIME) Roma/Ciampino (LIRA) Roma/Fiumicino (LIRF) Venezia/Tessera (LIPZ) Mandatory Waypoint will be defined for specific couple of entry/exit points.

4 4.5 Vertical connectivity Connection between FRAIT and the underlying fixed ATS route network will be assured through the identification of exchange waypoints in accordance with defined planning rules. The points need to be chosen among the published waypoint available. AOs shall plan the access or the exit to/from FRAIT via appropriate intermediate points according to their optimal flight profile. All the traffic inbound to Italian airports, or airports close to the boundary, has to plan according to FRAIT until the point where the flight intend to cross FL305 to join the ATS Network. For the above mentioned defined Italian airports one of the mandatory point has to be filled in flight plan to indicate the point where the flight shall leave the FRAIT to join the ATS Network. For departing traffic from Italian airports, or airports close to the boundary, AOs shall plan ATS Network until the point where the flight intends to cross FL305 to ENTRY into Free Route Airspace (crossing FL305).

5 4.6 Flight Plan Validation To permit FPL validation according the above mentioned criteria, AOs have to indicate in FPL the point from which they intent to plan FRA or the point in which they intend to leave FRA to join ATS network (for LIML, LIMC, LIME, LIRF, LIRA, LIPZ only via Mandatory connecting points). DCT is accepted if the flight path from indicated intermediate point and the first planned point inside FRAIT, or vice versa, will cross such intermediate point at a level included in a defined layer (FL225 -FL305, see following examples). This not applicable to traffic that will remain for the entire duration of the flight, outside the FRAIT vertical limits.

6 4.7 Airspace Reservation In case of portion/s of airspace not available (activated AMC manageable areas, R, D, P) the AOs shall plan intermediate Points to circumnavigate the area/s. 4.8 OAT Handling No impact on OAT handling.
